Description

ALCOHOL METABOLISM MODERATING COMPOSITION
The present invention is directed to a composition, in particular a food composition, or dietary supplementation, which is active in respect to the support and/or the moderation of an alcohol degradation process within the human body.
The present invention particularly addresses the problem of accumulation of acetaldehyde after rapid alcohol degradation i.e. alcohol metabolism as may occur in most people of Non-Caucasian type genetic structure.
In this regard, an object of the present invention is to achieve solutions which provide a reduction in the toxic effects or physiological stress in connection with the consumption of alcohol, in particular for people with a predisposition towards rapid alcohol degradation and subsequent accumulation of acetaldehyde due to a genetic polymorphism of human acetaldehyde-dehydrogenase enzym.
According to the present invention this object is attained by a food composition, or dietary supplementation including the following substances:
dextrose, Vitamin C, L-glutamine cysteine, riboflavin, succinic acid, fumaric acid, coenzyme QlO, and niacin.
all substances in physiologically relevant doses. With this particular food composition, or dietary supplementation it will become possible to reduce the activity, or to suppress the production of a particular alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme (ADH3), to slow down the production of acetaldehyde and the ethanol metabolism process and reduce the alcohol induced peak load on the human organism. Further the enzymatic activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase ALDH2 will be enhanced, so that the metabolisation of acetaldehyde will be supported.
These particular effects help to reduce a flushing syndrome, reduce the likelihood of headaches and also help to avoid or ease a hangover the day after.
The particular food composition or dietary supplementation is considered to be appropriate to reduce a peak of excess acetaldehyde entering the blood stream and is intended to lower the risk of damage to vital organs and functions of the human body, and in this connection also lower the risk of several forms of cancer.
The niacin-fraction (Vitamin B3) included in the composition functions as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which is effective towards a coenzyme to alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). This vitamin is provided to accelerate ethanol metabolism.
According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the composition also includes Pantotheic acid. Pantotheic acid functions as coenzyme A (CoA), which is considered necessary to metabolize acetic acid. Acetic acid is activated in conjugation with CoA to form acetyl-CoA, which is metabolized in TCA cycle. In enzymatical point of view, elimination of a product (acetic acid) is effective towards an acceleration of the metabolism of a substrate (acetaldehyde).
Preferably this food composition or supplements should be taken about 5 minutes prior to consumption of alcohol and in case of high alcohol consumption again whilst consuming alcohol. The mass of the food composition taken by the consumer should be in the range of about 70 to 120% of the mass of the alcohol included in the consumed drinks. A standard dose might include about 10. Og dextrose, 1.Og Vitamin C, 1.5g L-glutamine, 500mg cysteine, 40mg riboflavin, 100 mg succinic acid, 100 mg fumaric acid, 60mg coenzyme QlO, and about 10 nig Niacin (Vitamin B3). Preferably the relation of the components of the composition is oriented towards the above given relation. The overall dosage may be adapted to the body mass weight of the consumer.
The particular food composition, or dietary supplementation is intended to prevent too much acetaldehyde passing into the mitochondrial matrix and to suppress self- blockade of the enzymatic activity of ALDH and thus facilitate its the decomposition of acetaldehyde.
The physiological risks in connection with alcohol consumption may therefore be significantly reduced by the use of the food composition according to the present invention, as this food composition or dietary supplementation facilitates in a synergetic manner an early decrease of the level of acetaldehyde after drinking and simultaneously provides a protective effect in respect of the suppression of the generation of free radicals.
Said food composition or dietary supplementation is preferably in such a form, preferably as ingredients of a kind of aperitif, that it allows the food composition to be consumed within a restaurant or a bar prior to consuming alcoholic drinks. Preferably a dosage for a person with a body weight of about 80 kg includes a dextrose fraction of approx. 75%, wherein the said dosage may have an overall weight of about 10 to 15, preferably 13.3g. Such a dosage is to provide a considerable moderation in degrading about 18ml alcohol.
The food composition or dietary supplementation is preferably constituted in a manner wherein a dosage of same, includes a dextrose fraction of about 75.2 mass%, i.e. a quantity of dextrose in the range from 7.2 to 12.8g, preferably 10.0 g within a dose of 13,3g.
The food composition or dietary supplementation is preferably constituted in a manner wherein a dosage of same includes a Vitamin C fraction of about 7.5 mass% i.e a quantity of Vitamin C in the range from 0.78 to 1.18 g, preferably 1.Og, within a dose of 13.3g.
The food composition or dietary supplementation is preferably constituted in a manner wherein a dosage of same includes a L-glutamine fraction of about 11.27 mass%, i.e. a quantity of said L-glutamine fraction in the range from 1.23 to 1.7 g, preferably 1.5g, within a dose of 13.3g.
The food composition or dietary supplementation is preferably constituted in a manner wherein a dosage of same includes a cysteine fraction of about 3.76 mass%, i.e. a quantity of said cysteine fraction in the range from 460 to 540 mg, preferably 500mg, within a dose of 13.3g.
The food composition or dietary supplementation is preferably constituted in a manner wherein a dosage of same includes a riboflavin fraction of about 0.30 mass% i.e. a quantity of said riboflavin in the range from 32 to 48 mg, preferably 40mg, within a dose of 13.3g.
The food composition or dietary supplementation is preferably constituted in a manner wherein a dosage of same includes a succinic acid (Bernsteinsaure) fraction of about 0.752 mass%, i.e. a quantity of said succinic acid in the range from 90 to 110 mg, preferably lOOmg, within a dose of 133g.
The food composition or dietary supplementation is preferably constituted in a manner wherein a dosage of same includes a fumaric acid (Fumarsaure) fraction of about 0.752 mass%, i.e. a quantity of said fumaric acid in the range from 90 to 110 mg, preferably lOOmg, within a dose of 13.3g.
The food composition or dietary supplementation is preferably constituted in a manner wherein a dosage of same includes a coenzyme fraction of about 0,451 mass%, i.e. a quantity of said coenzyme fraction in the range from 50 to 70 mg, preferably 60mg, within a dose of 13.3g. The food composition or dietary supplementation is preferably constituted in a manner wherein a dosage of same is in the form of tablets. Preferably, each tablet is so shaped and dimensioned that it allows said tablet to be easily swallowed.
Preferably, said tablets are in such a form that one dosage includes a plurality of those tablets.
The tablets may be accommodated within a dosage receptacle which includes a number of those tablets. It is possible for the food composition to be in the form of small tablets or balls, and to keep same in a small tube, while the volume of the food composition taken by the consumer can be determined with respect to the volume of alcohol which is expected to be consumed.
The food composition or dietary supplementation may also be in a form similar to sugar-cubes, or might be in the form of cryopowder.
The food composition or dietary supplementation may be separated into separate subunits. It is possible to provide one unit, for example a capsule including the Vitamin C fraction, cysteine, riboflavin, succinic acid, fumaric acid and coenzyme QlO, whilst most of the dextrose fraction is kept in separate units, capsules, tablets or the like.
It is possible to add further substances such as fruit juice extracts, curcuma, tannin, a powder of Panax notoginseng, and Vinca rosea in suitable amounts. Oolong tea, aloe vera and spiral water algae might also be added.
The food-composition or dietary supplementation may also be in the form of a liquid, in particular a sirup-type liquid. It is possible to provide the food composition in the appearance of a soft drink in a small bottle. The particular food composition or dietary supplementation is considered to provide the following achievements:
1. Reduction of ethanol metabolism by slowing down the process of ethanol oxidation into acetaldehyde, to prevent accumulation of acetaldehyde in the first place.
2. Stimulation of the activity of ALDH and avoiding any blockade of its enzymatic activity.
3. Speeding up the reaction from acetaldehyde to acetic acid and the further decomposition in the citrate cycle.
4. Improving the levels of those anti-oxidants of the alcohol consumer, which specially protect against toxic effects of acetaldehyde.
The first achievement
is believed to be reached by the intake of a large dose of dextrose sugar (glucose). Glucose is rapidly oxidised in the cytosol of liver cells using the same cytosol NAD+ pool used by ethanol to be converted into acetaldehyde. Because the amount of cytosolic NAD+ is limited and can only constantly be reproduced from NADH+H much less acetaldehyde accumulates.
The second achievement is also believed to be achieved by the intake of a large dose of glucose. Glucose augments the enzymatic activity of ADH as well as of ALDH. When a large glucose load occurs in the cytosol of liver cells then there is no possibility that the acetaldehyde reaches levels which could lead to inactivation of ALDH or to mitochondrial destruction.
The third achievement is believed to be performed by
a) Accelerating the reoxidation from NADH+H+ to NAD+ by speeding up the transport of electrons through the inner mitochondrial membrane
b) Accelerating the Krebs cycle
It is believed to be achieved by the inclusion of coenzyme Q10 and riboflavin. Riboflavin will quickly be transformed to FMN, which together with coenzyme Qi0 is the determining substance for the speed of the reoxidation of NADH+H+ to NAD+ in the mitochondrial matrix. Acetaldehyde needs NAD+ when it is metabolised to acetic acid. Within this reaction NAD+ is transformed into NADH+H+. Because the availability of NAD+ is limited in the mitochondrial matrix NADH+H+ has to be re-transformed into NAD+ to serve again for acetaldehyde decomposition. This reaction is only possible because FMN and coenzyme Qi0 absorb the electrons of NADH+H+ and shuttle them through the mitochondrial membrane. The more FMN and coenzyme Q10 are available, the more this process is speeded up and, because more NAD+ is available, the metabolism of acetaldehyde is accelerated.
The inclusion of coenzyme Qi0 also makes also sense because its level decreases in the human body with progressing age.
The activation of the Krebs (citrate) cycle is believed to be achieved by the inclusion of succinic acid and fumaric acid. Both substances activate the second half of the citrate cycle and thereby activate the aerobic oxidation process in mitochondria. L-glutamine helps to speed up the mitochondria-cytosolic malate- asparate shuttle, which plays a key role in the course of intoxication by acetaldehyde. It also speeds up the succinate oxidation process by preventing oxalic and acetic inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase. The fourth achievement,
the elevation of anti-oxidant levels, is believed to be achieved by the inclusion of cysteine, ascorbic acid and also of L-glutamine. Cysteine should provide a strong anti-oxidant effect as well as ascorbic acid. The human body transforms cysteine to gluthatione which specially protects against the toxic effects of acetaldehyde. To reach an optimal level of gluthatione and to avoid cysteine being transformed to cystine, it is important to combine cysteine with glutamine and give twice as much ascorbic acid as cysteine.
By taking the mentioned substances, it is expected that the level of acetaldehyde after drinking alcohol will be remarkably reduced and flushing symptoms at least diminished. The other known side-effects of acetaldehyde such as headaches and hangovers should also disappear.
